Strip file from URL

Hi guys/gals.

I am looking for a method to extract the file name from a URL. For
example, http://www.somehost.com/downloads/v1.0/thisprogram.exe

I need to be able to extract "thisprogram.exe" from the URL/I and I
have no idea how to do this. I have searched for methods and even
tried doing so with pos() and some relevant characters, but all with
no success.

So, if anyone has a function/procedure laying around that can do this
and you don't mind sharing, I would be eternally grateful.

Using D6 on Windows XP Professional.

Thanks in advance,

-- Ryan
